Eli and Jude's Cupcakes

A very good friend of mine had twin baby boys on the 27th of July!  I brought these cupcakes to the hospital when we visited.

Gumpaste decorations drying after I cut and painted them.

Probably my second favourite shirt combo.

My original plan for these was a onesie and a diaper on each of nine cupcakes.  However, when I sat down to decorate them, two had mysteriously gone missing! *cough* Ian *cough*.  So I decided to do six instead; two onesies on four, three diapers and a onesie on one, and six diapers on one.  I had a bunch of prepared miniature blue and white flowers that I used as filler....I'm wishing I'd come up with something more creative.  I don't like how they look.

This pair of baby shirts was my fave.

Hey Lindsay...

...look what we did to your dog while you were away ;P

Please not that Sorcha is also wearing a clog on her back left foot. 

 

June's 50th

72 cupcakes; chocolate with white chocolate cream cheese frosting, fondant cap, and gumpaste decorations.  24 have real freesia. 

Setting up at the event.  They arranged the cupcakes into beautiful centerpieces on each table.  I thought it was a really clever idea!  They looked great.

Thank you for the pleasure Tara!

A Science Experiment, Toddler Style

We participated in the "Unplugged Project" last week.  The theme was 'science'.  Our neighbour came over with her daughter and we did a little twist on the old baking soda and vinegar experiment.

We mixed vinegar with food colour, a little bit of dish soap, glitter, and of course, the baking soda.  The dish sap caused a volcano-like reaction that was really cool to watch.  The glitter was a bit small and unnoticeable, but the colours were great, and the kids had tons of fun mixing and pouring once the reactions had petered out.

Lindsay has tons of pictures and even a little video of the kiddos  in this post.
